Planned public protest activity is likely to cause significant disruption to the City Centre, bus services and the wider Auckland Transport network this Saturday 31 January.

There will be detours in place for all bus services that travel to or through the City Centre from approximately 11am, which could last for several hours.

Te Komititanga Square will be very busy, customers travelling by bus, train or ferry should allow extra time accessing Waitematā Station and the Downtown Ferry Terminal.

Claire Howard, Manager of the joint NZTA/AT Auckland Transport Operation Centre, advises: “All public transport customers are advised to check the AT Mobile app and website for detailed changes to bus routes and which stops remain open.”

Motorists travelling through the city centre and on state highways are advised to allow extra time, prepare for detours and to check Google maps before travelling to see road closures and recommended routes.

“Please pay attention to motorway signage which will advise of any traffic impacts as a result,” said Howard.
